Just Can't Win

from Applied Science by Fatbwoi

lyrics

I’m metaphorically out on a limb
I know that realistically the chances are slim
But hot-damn right now we looking so fly
So come on wrinkles let’s go bag another bad guy…
‘sa long walk down the highway to freedom
It’s a little bit faster if you get a car
Driving past all the bugs and the road-kill
With the sneaking feeling you’ve left the oven on…

You can’t get it started – Cos you know it won’t stop
Don’t get it started – Cos you know it won’t stop
And you try, and you try, still you try, so you try…

But it seems some-days – You just can’t win
We move on, we grow strong, we live to fight another day
Sometimes you’re making music and you cannot give it away
But I’m not subject to the feelings of sadness
I keep doing the same things – Some might call it madness…
But it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s okay…
Do I look like I’d be easily offended?
Well you can juris my diction and suck on my fiction
Any time of the night or day

You can’t get it started – Cos you know it won’t stop
Don’t get it started – Cos you know it won’t stop
And you try, and you try, still you try, so you try…
But it seems some-days – You just can’t win

So the world spins round – The gravity pins us down
It ain’t so easy to go falling off a planet
But some of the people that I’ve met in my time
Well I’m quite confident that they could manage it…
They don’t know how to use the three sea-shells?
Well what would you do, with the three sea-shells?
But of course it takes all sorts…
Broadly those who can and those who can’t handle it…

You can’t get it started – Cos you know it won’t stop
Don’t get it started – Cos you know it won’t stop
And you try, and you try, still you try, so you try…
But it seems some-days – You we just can’t win
